Junior French Open doubles title for
Kontinen
MCTA player Henri
Kontinen who is part of the European
ITF travelling team for the 2008
summer has continued building on his
fantastic year in doubles proving
himself to be the best doubles
junior in the world.
Henri and his partner Christopher
Rungkat from Indonesia beat
convincingly Jaan-Frederik Brunken from
Germany and Matt Reid from Australia
60, 63 and finished the tournament
without dropping a single set.
David Sammel (Director of Tennis) said: "Winning the French Open is an honour that
caps off a run of excellent doubles results. I reminded him yesterday that there
is a big difference between being Champion and runner-up, but I have to say the
manner of his victory is impressive. He has an excellent chance of adding the
Wimbledon title later this month and hopefully he can go deep into the singles
draw as well because grass is perfect for his style of play."
